Summary: The first index of its kind, the BNP Paribas Individual Philanthropy Index by Forbes Insights measures and reflects the commitment of individual philanthropists from Europe, the Middle East and Asia in terms of three main criteria: the amounts given, innovation and the effort invested to promote their causes.

The data for the index is derived from a survey of more than 300 individuals—divided equally among the three regions and with at least $5 million in investable assets—conducted by Forbes Insights between January and March 2013. Additional interviews with ultra-wealthy philanthropists in these regions were conducted by Forbes Insights.
